Cricket expert Aakash Chopra feels Men in Yellow are going on “Auto Pilot” mode and there is nothing to worry about in this IPL 2021 season for Dhoni and the team. The Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have already qualified for the IPL 2021 playoffs for the 13th time in 14 editions of the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) the table-toppers will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) tonight placed at 7th position on the IPL 2021 points table who are struggling to find rhythm and form in the season so far. It is Match No.47 of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Moreover, the cricketer-turned commentator has selected his ideal playing X1 for the encounter between CSK and RR tonight. Aakash Chopra also said the CSK side will be enjoying at the top of the points table and feels that there is no need for the āMen in Yellowā to make any changes to their playing XI.
Likewise, Chopra is concerned about the Royals lineup and feels that the Sanju Samson-led Royals should drop Chris Morris from their playing XI, and the ideal candidate to replace him will be Mayank Markande who hasn’t played any matches in this edition of the IPL.
Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings have won all their 4 matches in the UAE leg of the IPL 2021 so far. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have looked rusty and were able to win only 1 match out of the 4 they have played so far in the UAE.

Aakash Chopra’s Predicted CSK Playing X1: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c and wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Josh Hazlewood
Aakash Chopra’s Predicted RR Playing X1: Evin Lewis, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c and wk), Mahipal Lomror, Liam Livingstone, Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips, Mayank Markande, Chetan Sakariya, Kartik Tyagi, Mustafizur Rahman
It is a do-or-die match for the Rajasthan Royals tonight against the CSK for finishing in the top 4. They will have to win their remaining fixtures as well. The Sanju- Samson-led Royals will have to pull out extraordinary performances from their players to qualify for the IPL 2021 playoffs.
